So Busy, But Still Time to Knit!

Things have been so busy here-- but I always find time to knit!

I am finished with classes at the Yeshiva! Hooray!! Off for the Summer!!! I still have a few things I need to do as Department Chair now and then, but for the most part, I am a "lady of leisure" now. I can write and knit and blog all day.

I got a lot of socks knitted in the past couple of months. I flew to Nebraska in late May to grade AP Exams, drove to Florida and back for Robert's 30th High School Reunion-- lots of knitting time. Now that I am done with his sweater, though, I haven't got another big project in the works yet. I am just using up my stash of sock yarn.

I am knitting a yoga mat bag from the yarn I had left from Robert's sweater. It has a basketweave pattern and is knitted in the round. It is really easy so I don't have to think much about it.

BIG NEWS-- We have new kittens!!! They are so cute, just 9 weeks old now. The male is black, the female black-and-white. The kids have been arging about names. Hannah goes more for the artist, revolutionary type names. Matt prefers characters from his games, comics, animes. At the moment, the black one is Marley and the other is Joplin. (Matt has been doing a play at the Maryland Arts Festival called Beehive: the 60's Musical.)

Hannah is working like crazy-- between her 2 classes at Montgomery College and her job at the pet shop. Matt has been doing his plays and teaching kung fu at the summer camp where he taught last year. This past week he has also been subbing as the teacher for his regular kung fu classes as well.

Robert just left for California today. He will be in Santa Barbara all week, watching his satellite being tested and meeting with scientists.
